Council Reviews Competing Land Capacity Models for Comp Plan

City Council held a study session Tuesday, September 1, 2026, focusing on the Comprehensive Plan and Winslow Subarea Plan Update. These plans will guide the City's growth through 2044, addressing employment and housing targets, including affordable housing. Consultant LMN presented land capacity analysis models, noting the February LCA met overall targets but raised concerns about adequate affordable housing, and the July LCA did not satisfy residential growth targets required by state acts. The Council previously adopted an interim zoning ordinance on August 25, 2026, which included a Mandatory Inclusionary Zoning program. No vote was taken; the session aimed to determine new modeling assumptions to meet the City's housing goals.
